Justin Anderson, a hairstylist allegedly once employed by Nicola Peltz Beckham, has publicly criticized her after her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, issued a blistering takedown of his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
Anderson, who allegedly worked with Nicola, 31, during a 2014 press tour, commented on a Tuesday, January 20, Instagram post by @bestofbravo that recapped claims made by Brooklyn, 26, against his parents shared one day prior.
“Brooklyn’s wife was one of the worst ‘celebs’ I’ve ever worked with. It’s her … she’s a baddddd apple,” the beauty professional alleged. “Everyone knows how close the Beckham family really is.”
Us Weekly has reached out to a representative for Nicola for comment.
Anderson, who has worked with Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, Kristin Cavallari, Gwyneth Paltrow and other high-profile celebrities in the past, expanded on his thoughts via his own Instagram Stories that day. “I’ve worked with her,” he claimed in a video. “Not nice. Not nice. I can say with my full chest, not good energy, bad news bears. And then, yeah, based on how many wedding planners she went through, I think she’s the issue.”
He continued, “I mean, Google her. Google her. Go into Reddit, go into the dark corners of Reddit and read a little bit about her. Not a good person … Spooky energy, very spooky energy. I don’t even feel bad saying that because when someone’s just so not nice, it always comes out. You can’t hide that. So, yeah, I do. I feel really bad for [the Beckham family]. I do.”

Brooklyn’s recent statement served as the first time he has publicly addressed his estranged relationship with David, 50, and Victoria, 51. He wrote to fans on Monday, January 19, that he had been “silent for years” amid efforts to “keep these matters private,” before launching into his side of the story.
“Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed,” his statement read. “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

His words continued, “The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of the innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”
Brooklyn also alleged that Victoria “cancelled making Nicola’s [wedding] dress in the eleventh hour … forcing her to urgently find a new dress,” of which Anderson also questioned via his social media commentary.

“But she’s been working with Valentino for a year on the dress? What do these people consider the “eleventh hour?” he wrote alongside a photo of Nicola with the caption, “ruh-ruh, nic nic.”
Anderson’s take on the situation comes just hours after David maintained public silence over Brooklyn’s post. Seen at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he had recorded a podcast with psychologist Adam Grant, David avoided questions posed to him, including several by Sky News reporter Paul Kelso who asked, “David, do you have a message for Brooklyn this morning?” and “Are you disappointed family business is being aired in public?”
Us Weekly has reached out to both David and Victoria for comment regarding Brooklyn’s post, with neither responding by the time of publication.
